Two burly men in tight black tank tops, their muscular shoulders, backs, and arms covered in tattoos, were clearly not to be trifled with.

"So, it's just a bunch of little brats who haven't even grown hair yet!" The man with the small mustache, who had just cursed Liu Yan, looked up. He scanned the twenty-odd people in the hall, sneered, and then roared, "Who the hell is this bitch's man? Get your ass out here and answer me!"

Little Beard pointed to a wet patch on his shirt and snarled, "You'd better step forward properly right now! Don't fucking play dumb! Your woman dirtied my Armani! If you don't cough up twenty thousand, don't even think about walking out that door!"

"Who is Liu Yan's boyfriend?"

"Who knows? I don't think she has a boyfriend. When we were downstairs, Song Cai wasn't interested in her!"

"Why would she provoke people like that out of nowhere?"

"Who knows what she was up to? She didn't come up with us just now. She was probably messing around in the bar, got drunk, and accidentally puked on someone! Her private life has always been very loose."

No one in the hall knew who Liu Yan's boyfriend was. What was worse, it seemed no one had ever even heard of her having a boyfriend...

"Damn it, are you fucking with me?!" Little Beard slapped Liu Yan hard across the face, grabbed her hair, and snarled, "What's your man's name? Stop fucking wasting my time!"

Lin Feng frowned. He didn't like seeing women bullied like this. Just as he was wondering whether to help Liu Yan, he suddenly heard her speak in a hoarse voice,

"Song Cai... Song Cai... He'll pay the money for me..."

Liu Yan seemed to have had a lot to drink; her words were slurred.

Even at a time like this, she's still thinking about Song Cai. What infatuation! Let's see how this plays out. Lin Feng leisurely watched Song Cai hiding behind the crowd, somewhat curious as to how he would handle this.

"Song Cai? Who's Song Cai? Damn it, are you still not going to fucking show yourself?!" Little Beard seemed to have very little patience. He pointed at Liu Yan and roared, his voice booming, "If you don't come out, I'll make this woman spend the night with me and my brother here to pay off her debt!"

Hearing this, most people in the crowd looked at Song Cai with pity, hoping he would step forward and rescue Liu Yan.

"Why are you all looking at me? I have nothing to do with that woman!" Song Cai sounded panicked. He shrank further back and blurted this out instinctively. Then, feeling something wasn't quite right, he quickly corrected himself, "I'm not her boyfriend!"

So this is the kind of person Song Cai is?! For a moment, it seemed as if most people present were only just truly seeing Song Cai for who he was. They never would have imagined that he would hide in the crowd and just stand by watching in a situation like this!

"So you're Song Cai, huh! You coward, hiding in the crowd! Do you get a kick out of wasting my time? Get out here and talk!" Little Beard dragged Song Cai out from the crowd and threw him to the ground. He chuckled and said, "What was that you were saying just now? My hearing isn't too good. Say it again!"

"Ah... that hurts! You dare hit me? My father is Song Kongming! He won't let you get away with this!" Song Cai, thrown to the ground, groaned a few times before starting to threaten Little Beard.

"Song Kongming? From the Song Group? I've heard of him..." Little Beard seemed thoughtful and actually refrained from hitting Song Cai again. "Kid, listen up. I'm giving your old man some face, so you'd better cooperate. Tell me, do you know this chick?"

"I know her. Her name is Liu Yan. But I don't know her well, and I'm not her boyfriend!" Song Cai struggled to get up, his body trembling like a leaf as he spoke in a quavering voice.

"Looks like someone's been lying to me..." Little Beard walked over to Liu Yan, yanked her hair again, and asked in a low, dangerous voice, "You dare to mess with the brothers of the Qingzi Sect? Anything else to say?"

"Song Cai... you... you won't help me?" Liu Yan looked at Song Cai with a bitter smile, her face etched with despair as she asked.

"Who knows what you did to them? Don't try to drag me into this!" Hearing the name "Qingzi Sect," Song Cai couldn't help but shiver. Others might not know what those words implied, but as the heir to the Song Group, he knew very well.

The Qingzi Sect was the Qing Gang, a notorious gang with centuries of history. These two burly men were indeed gangsters, and from the most arrogant Qingzi Sect at that. How could Song Cai dare to recklessly provoke them?

The slightest misstep wouldn't just be a matter of money!

Now, not only Song Cai but also his classmates realized these two were gangsters. No one dared to utter a word.

"Um, can I pay for her?"

A lazy-sounding voice suddenly came from the crowd. When Little Beard turned around, he saw a man waving at him.

The one waving was Lin Feng. He had wanted to observe the situation a little longer, but he was worried Tang Rou would become too anxious, so he decided to step out sooner than planned.

That girl is just too soft-hearted! Lin Feng knew Tang Rou didn't particularly like Liu Yan; he hadn't expected Tang Rou to be the one urgently pushing him to save her.

"Lin Feng? He's actually offering to pay for Liu Yan?!"

"Didn't he win a lot of money? What's the big deal about paying twenty thousand?"

"But why isn't Song Cai willing to pay?"

"Song Cai's probably afraid people will think he's involved with Liu Yan!"

"So Lin Feng isn't afraid of that?"

"Do you think Tang Rou is the type to misunderstand?"

"True. Looks like Lin Feng has some conscience after all..."

"Why do I feel like you're talking about yourself? Your family isn't poor either; why didn't you pay for Liu Yan?"

"I... I just lost all my money!"

Seeing Lin Feng step forward, the people who had just been playing cards with him began to murmur among themselves.

"Oh? And who might you be?" Little Beard sized Lin Feng up with interest and asked curiously, "Her friend?"

"Not really..." Lin Feng shook his head. He didn't know Liu Yan at all, so how could they be friends?

Little Beard glanced at Lin Feng's less-than-imposing build, pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Friend, don't you realize you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"

In fact, Little Beard had deliberately revealed his identity earlier to scare off Song Cai. His aim wasn't the money; he wanted Liu Yan to 'willingly' spend the night with them. Lin Feng stepping forward at this juncture was a real buzzkill. Little Beard, growing irritated, began to speak impolitely.

"Yeah, I find it pretty troublesome too, but what can you do when you run into something like this... Twenty thousand, was it? Here, take a good look. These black chips are worth ten thousand each. Be a dear and take them to the counter to cash them yourself!" Lin Feng rambled on, placing two black chips into Little Beard's hand. He then walked over to the tattooed brute gripping Liu Yan's arm, pried the man's hand off, and, supporting Liu Yan, started to lead her away.

"Hold it! Did I say you could leave?" Little Beard barked, his voice cold. He flung the two black chips to the ground. "Leave the woman here. Go get two hundred thousand in cash, and then we'll talk about an exchange!"

"Two hundred thousand?" Lin Feng turned back, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Little Beard. "Such a big appetite. Aren't you afraid you'll choke on it?"
